Our Voices Are Needed in Harrisburg

As a member of the ACLU, I received this email about two important opportunities to shout out for liberty. Since I can't travel, maybe you'll go in my or someone else's honor. I wish I could stand up and shout out for everyone who needs a voice...one day:


A message from the state capitol

Dear friends of liberty,

March is the month to be in Harrisburg. You are needed at the capitol!

It’s legal in most of Pennsylvania to fire someone from his or her job simply because he or she is gay. On Tuesday, March 17, the ACLU of PA will team with the Value All Families Coalition for a lobby day and rally at the state capitol for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender equality. It’s long past time for Pennsylvania’s non-discrimination law to include "sexual orientation" and "gender identity or expression." To pass this legislation, your legislators need to hear from you! Learn more online.

Two weeks later, on March 31, ACLU–PA will gather with Pennsylvanians for Responsible Sex Education (PARSE) for a lobby day for healthy youth. In recent years, the commonwealth’s teen birth rate and teen abortion rate have risen. The folly of abstinence–only-until-marriage education has come home to roost. Join us on March 31 to lobby for legislation requiring comprehensive sex education in PA’s schools. Learn more online.

Buses from Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are available for both events.

Let’s rock the dome!

See you in Harrisburg.

Sincerely,
Andy Hoover
Legislative Director
ACLU of PA
